The light around a black hole is distorted and bent due to the strong gravitational pull, creating a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. This can cause light to appear stretched or warped, making it difficult to observe objects near a black hole directly.

Can you make light circular?

Only around a black hole. There is a sphere around every black hole where light orbits the black hole.


Does black hole have the highest refractive index?

No. A black hole does not have a refractive index. The bending of light around a black hole is due to gravity, which is entirely different from refraction.


What happens to light in a black hole and how does it contribute to our understanding of the nature of black holes?

When light enters a black hole, it cannot escape because the gravitational pull is so strong. This helps scientists understand that black holes have a powerful gravitational force that even light cannot overcome, leading to a better understanding of their nature and how they interact with the surrounding space.


If light does not escape a black hole does it just sit there?

Light continues to circle around the 'black hole' in what is called the 'Schwartchild radius before disappearing into the event horizon'. This is how that scientists are said to find the 'black holes'; they find the bright 'circles' with a black hole in it. light cannot escape a black hole because the escape velocity (the velocity needed to escape the gravitation pull of a celestial body) of a black hole exceeds the speed of light.


What is the only way to see a black hole?

Black Holes by nature cannot be "seen" because of their gravitational ability to pull in light. Obviously you "see" something when light hits an object and then enters your eye. Black holes can be detected with a combination of electronics and deductive reasoning. Black holes emit x-rays which can be detected. It is when x-rays are detected from space yet no possible visible source is found that a black hole exists.


Why is light attracted to a black hole?

Light is not only attracted to a black hole, in fact, its attracted to you, to me and to everything made of matter in the universe. The problem is that light is affected by gravity, and the black holes have so much that light significantly change trajectory or the black holes absorb the photons


How does light calculate in a black hole?

I am not aware of light calculating anything in a black hole.


Is a black hole faster than light?

No, a black hole is not faster than light.


What object absorbs all incident light?

A black hole is an object that absorbs all incident light due to its intense gravitational pull. Once light crosses the event horizon of a black hole, it cannot escape, rendering it invisible to outside observers.


What dose a black hole do?

it pulls everything around it were not even light can escape.


What is the brilliant light coming from a black hole?

if there is light surrounding a black hole it is normally from material entering into the event horizon of the black hole.


If light can be pulled into a black hole that suggests mass What is the weight per square meter?

light has no mass and therefore no weight. Light cannot be "pulled" into a black hole. The escape velocity from a black hole is greater than the speed of light, so no light can escape from a black hole. Spacetime in the vicinity of a black hole is greatly distorted by the hole's gravity, and light may travel along curved geodesics that intersect the black hole. But it is not pulled in.
